Windows Terminal version

1.19.10821.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.3447

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. From a command prompt, run start /wait conhost.exe --headless powershell.exe -Command "exit 1" or start /wait conhost.exe --headless cmd.exe /c "exit 1"
  2. Check the resulting exit code with echo %errorlevel%.

Without routing the above through conhost.exe --headless, %errorlevel% contains the process's exit code as expected.

Expected Behavior

C:\Users\mjr40>start /wait conhost.exe --headless cmd.exe /c "exit 15"

C:\Users\mjr40>echo %errorlevel%
15

C:\Users\mjr40>

Actual Behavior

C:\Users\mjr40>start /wait conhost.exe --headless cmd.exe /c "exit 15"

C:\Users\mjr40>echo %errorlevel%
0

C:\Users\mjr40>
